The posting

Built to set the gold standard for integrated AI infrastructure

Crux AI is a newly formed, U.S.-based integrated AI infrastructure company created to remove the physical and operational constraints on consequential AI ambitions. Crux brings together power, high-density data centers, TPU silicon, networking, orchestration software, and ongoing operations as one integrated system.

Crux is being capitalized to plan every layer together, develop each one to demanding standards, and operate the whole system with efficiency and reliability. That gives hyperscalers, frontier AI labs, sovereign customers, enterprises, and AI-native companies greater freedom to pursue the AI they are here to create.

- Partner with other finance leaders to develop and implement streamlined management and board reporting dashboards, synthesizing key trends and operating performance.

- Partner with business unit leaders to build bottom-up operational and capital plans.

- Provide the analytical foundation for the prioritization and allocation of capital in support of company priorities.

- Architect the FP&A tech stack, using an AI-forward model and leveraging planning platforms and business intelligence tools to improve forecasting accuracy.

After 1 year:

- Recruit, mentor, and lead a diverse, high-performing FP&A team, driving the organization to informed decision-making.

- Deliver clear, actionable insights leveraging advanced analytics that consistently drive better resource allocation and long-term value creation.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
